Judge Allows Exotics Owner To Visit Seized Animals

toledoblade.com

The owner of the Tiger Ridge exotic animal farm in Stony Ridge is preparing to see the 11 animals seized by the state earlier this year.  A Wood County judge has allowed Kenny Hetrick to visit the animals the Ohio Department of Agriculture sent to a Colorado sanctuary. Hetrick may also bring his own veterinarian to determine the animals' health.  The state has appealed a judge's order to return the animals to the farm, claiming they were illegally because of permit violations.
